Psalms Chapter 18

1Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands.
3Day proclaims the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.
4There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard.
5Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
6He has placed his tabernacle in the sun, and he is like a bridegroom coming out of his bedroom. He has exulted like a giant running along the way;
7his departure is from the summit of heaven. And his course reaches all the way to its summit. Neither is there anyone who can hide himself from his heat.
8The law of the Lord is immaculate, converting souls. The testimony of the Lord is faithful, providing wisdom to little ones.
9The justice of the Lord is right, rejoicing hearts. The precepts of the Lord are brilliant, enlightening the eyes.
10The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for all generations. The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves:
11desirable beyond gold and many precious stones, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12For, indeed, your servant keeps them, and in keeping them, there are many rewards.
13Who can understand transgression? From my hidden faults, cleanse me, O Lord,
14and from those of others, spare your servant. If they will have no dominion over me, then I will be immaculate, and I will be cleansed from the greatest transgression.
15And the eloquence of my mouth will be so as to please, along with the meditation of my heart, in your sight, forever, O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
